honestly driving at night your going to hate 5% you wont be able to see anything i think if you went with 15 you would be satisfied as for the rear doors 5% would prob be good as you wont be trying to see out of them but front doors and rear window 15 would look good you wont be able to see inside really either.

+1 on 5% being a bitch at night....I should know. The previous owner (in his infinite wisdom and limited ability) decided it would be a good idea to put 20% (professional install). Then, not satisfied, put 5% over it (NOT professional install...wrinkles everywhere).

Its like looking into the Great Abyss when the windows are up at night. I have 20/15 vision, but find myself saying things like "is that a car?" *hammer brakes*--only to find that it is an odd figment of my imagination (or swamp gas reflecting the moon's light off of Venus producing a localized hologram in the shape of a Honda accord....but that's another story)

As always, the final decision is yours, but I would advise strongly against going 5%

Try riding a motorcycle behind 'em. That 5h17 reeks like mad but you can't tell some ignorant judge that you smelled the ganja on the freeway.

That said, I think it oughta be legal. Not driving under the influence, but possession and responsible use.

Amen to that. I once, was a pot head lol glad I stopped though. I was goin down the wrong path, lets just say.... AKA more drugs than just pot. And a **** ton of alcohol(wayyy more than the average person drinks in like a month)


Last night when I was out on the patio bbqing I saw a chick light up as she as drivin through the neighborhood. Ive seen so many people do that. I dont know why it isnt legal. Granted they are finding out it makes you stupid but what doesnt. haha

Mostly because paper companies were afraid that hemp would produce a cheap alternative and put them out of business


That being said it is rather psycho active and driving under the influence is worse that drunk driving in some instances.

Only if used in LARGE quantities......

I believe rope manufacturers didn't like it either.

Rumors I have heard are that marijuana was outlawed back in the 30's to give law enforcement types a 'reason' to arrest folks coming over our southern border illegally......

Banksters get rich by keeping it illegal. The CIA funds the things it's not supposed to be doing through dope smuggling (and gun running). The DEA is essentially the IRS of the black market, raking in loads of cash week after week all year long. No one in government or finance wants to tip the cash cow.

It'd be impossible to tax cannabis if it were legal because it is so easily grown by anyone who wants it.

Making cannabis completely legal here would trash the economies of Mexico and most or all of Central America. We spend around $10B/year on cannabis now, and a big chunk of that goes south over the border.

So, like just about everything else in the US these days, it's all about money and the rich people who want more, always more.
